What's new with SE Pioneer Way
The SE Pioneer Way Improvements Project continues to move ahead and toward construction. Here are some of our recent announcements:
Horse ring on SE Pioneer Way to be preserved
We have heard from many of you concerning the importance of preserving the horse ring mounted in the sidewalk at SE Pioneer Way near SE H
athaway Street when construction begins on SE Pioneer Way next year. The City is committed to saving the horse ring and will ensure that it is safely removed from the construction area prior to the start of work and reinstalled in its current location once the new sidewalks are placed. See the project plans for preserving the horse ring on the project to the left. You can also read the 11/30/10 article in the Whidbey News Times about the plans for the horse ring. In addition to the horse ring, the memorial plaque located near the intersection of SE Ely Street and SE Pioneer will also be preserved and reinstalled with the project. Questions and comments can be sent to Eric Johnston: (360) 279-4522 or ejohnston@oakharbor.org.
Looking ahead: Design is nearing 100% and the project will go out to bid by mid-to late-December
On December 7, 2010, City Council authorized the project to be advertised for bid. At this time, it is anticipated that the project will be advertised on December 15 with a public bid opening scheduled for January 20, 2011 at 2:00 at City Hall. A contract award will likely be considered by the City Council on February 1, 2011 at the regular city council meeting. Construction is planned to begin mid to late February and be complete by early September 2011. The bid documents will include incentives for early project completion. Once the contractor has been selected, more details will be shared with the construction schedule and specific sequencing of construction activities. Additional information for properties affected by utility improvements will also be part of discussions, likely in January.
Readying for construction outreach and during-construction marketing

Readying for construction outreach and during-construction marketing
On December 7, 2010, City Council considered budgets for construction outreach for the SE Pioneer Way Improvements Project. The topic is currently tabled for additional consideration in January. On marketing, the Harborside Merchants Association is currently developing ideas for marketing during construction to help keep business vibrant. If you have an idea for Pioneer Way marketing or for marketing of the greater Oak Harbor area, please contact Eric Johnston: (360) 279-4522 or ejohnston@oakharbor.org.
